Mojang 'correct' Minecraft username while searching for harassing ID

We've all had trouble at one time or another with logins - usually because we can't remember a particular username and password combo. One Minecraft user in their frustration created a new one as 'MojangSucksDicks'.

They've had that for years when suddenly the welcome message inexplicably changed to 'NoWeDont'. Apparently it was a sheer coincidence as Mojang's Marc Watson was on the lookout for a genuine harassment notice.

“I was actually looking for %sucksdick, due to an unrelated report of harassment,” Watson revealed. “Usually we let servers handle all moderation but it was a parent and a kid, and well, I was just covering some bases. I never did find the username they reported (they couldn’t remember the exact spelling), but I did find this gem. Glad OP was a good sport about it.”

Reddit user 'jessemoforice' recounts the funny moment:

"So a few years ago when I was signing up for Minecraft, I tried logging into an account that already existed, but couldn't get into it. For some reason I got angry at Mojang for this and created a new account called MojangSucksDick, which is what I've been using ever since. Yeah... So anyway I logged on today to discover my new name..."
